Indigenous People’s Day

Celebrating the multi-faceted heritage, history, and hope of Indigenous peoples. Indigenous peoples are not the past. They are living, powerful, and loving today.

2020 Begone! (five more things not in the media)

2020 “Go forth in joy and get on with it.” (read through to the end and you’ll understand) Yeah, we all know it was a crappy year for just about everybody.
